And since it's pixel-by-pixel comparing, it can find matches even if the original video was strongly modified, for example recompressed, cropped, rewatermarked etc.
This thing is cool, it's just very server intensive - that's why they're not offering the whole lot of tubes with their monitoring services, and limit the amount of videos that you can submit for a fixed price. This thing is just too heavy on CPU usage to let it loose scanning all infringing sites comparing all finds with the database of a million protected vids and charge $10/month for that.
Aside from CPU issues, the cost of a license is still out of this world for most DFP apps - one more reason why all DFP services charge insane prices.

Well then that is cool. If it doesn't need to do anything at all to the actual vid but can just find it no matter what.
Still going to not be effective at all against the thousands of sites that aren't going to play by the rules as far as "switching out" videos for 3 minute trailers.
But it's definitely going to be effective for Top Bucks in regards to their content on Pornhub for sure. And for others who sign up for it, it will also work well in the Pornhub instance.
Where is all the load hitting anyway? Wouldn't PornHub have to have some video on file for instance to "replace" the offending video? Or how exactly does that work? Somehow Pornhub's server is working as well to replace the vid whether it's grabbing it from a content server or not, right?
So for this to work...the "hunter" server finds the offending vid. Then the pirate site has to be involved in the project and has to have a piece of the software configured on their server too to communicate and "replace" the pirated vid?
Or does it work via a pre-configured list that Pornhub will have inside the piece of software that they will have to put on their server?
Damn. No matter how you cut it, that's a lot of stuff going on there and is gonna require pirate sites to come onboard (which would be awesome if they would)
Seems like the digital fingerprinting would better be used to hunt and dmca and then to throw a flag if the video did not come down so you can follow with legal action...
And that sounds familiar...like something similar to what's already being done...some guy at remove your something or another...can't quite remember...
